Hello, I am a young female who is 38 weeks pregnant with a little girl! I am really exciteed about the baby, but I am worried because I lack the things to properly take care of her. I was put on bedrest by my OB early on in my pregnancy. I am RH negative, and severly anemic. My placenta has also moved to cover my cervix because my boyfriend at the time beat me severely and kicked me in the stomach over 20 times! I have gone into early labor several times and they have been able to stop it, but with me being far enough along there isnt much more that they will do. At my last dr's appointement I found out that there was a problem with my platelets. A normal count is between 140 and 400, but mine we only at 73! The doctor told me that if he went ahead and did my c-section that there was a possibility that I could bleed to death because my blood would not clot. He sent me to an oncologist which scared me to death and the first thing I asked was did I have cancer? They said no, just a problem with my blood. They gave me a transfusion and I am now awaiting the results of current blood work.

So I am really getting nervous. I am still in need of onesies, sleepers, outfits, socks ( I didnt think of socks) a snowsuit, receiving blankets, bassinet sheets, crib sheets, diapers, wipes, lotions, baby bath.

Here is the rest of my story for those who dont know it.


Although I am only 22 years old I have had a rough life, but because of it have been able to overcome many of life's struggles. I lost my own mother when I was but 2 years old and was sent to foster care system where I lived being shuffled around until the age of 18. Since I had never experienced a stable family I allowed myself to become involved with a man who said he loved me..but love shouldnt hurt. He beat me many many times and I stayed because I thought that he was all life had to offer. After leaving I found out I was pregnant and he convinced me to come back. I believed that I could change him, but when he beat me severely although I am 8 months pregnant, I made a run for it. I am now living with a friend trying to get into housing of my own. I was diagnosed as RH negative and put on bed rest. That means I cant work until after the baby is born. As of right now I know that she is a girl, but I have nothing for her. I have nothing for her to sleep in, no clothes, not even bottles or the bare necessities. Please help me give my baby a fighting chance in the world. I want to make life better for her....she is my legacy....
It was suggested that I add my location so I am in Northwest Indiana near Chicago. Also if anyone would like to donate I can give a p.o box address if they let me know. Thank you
